Berley Discussion? : Northern Reef & Pelagic Fishing

jasonmcc · Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2007 9:27 pm Post subject: Berley Discussion?

I remember a while back we were having a discussion regarding using berley. Has anyone had any good or bad results since then. I have used one of those mesh pots a few times and it just seemed to attract plague amounts of sharks.

Just wonder what everyone else thinks.

when im out at the reefs i tie 2 cans of cat food [fish] to the anchor chain and that seems to work i punch some holes in each can. i have started to make my own cans now with tuna oil and pellets and pollock in the cansseems to do fine.

Whenever I'm reef fishing I always have a pretty good berley trail running out the back, fish frames from the trip before , old bait etc.
With a livie or pillie out either under a baloon or just in the current.

Nearly always get a couple of sharks but I wouldn't say heaps more than without berley, I think its worth a couple of sharks for all the other fish you can attract with burley.
Its mainly the palagics you are trying to attract so it doesn't affect the bottom fishing too much in the deeper water but it can stir up the reefies in the shallower spots.

Unless I'm getting too many sharks and nothing of value then I'll keep doing it.
